Winter Wellness From The Spice Rack 

 

Could the secret to winter wellness really be as close as your spice rack? The answer is yes!  

What we know as common kitchen spices today are actually age-old remedies used in ancient civilizations for their potent therapeutic properties. Consider just 5 common kitchen spices:

 

  • Cayenne...the fiery spice cuts through congestion to help clear up mucus.
  • Garlic...the protective immune benefits of this pungent bulb was recorded as early as 1500 B.C.E!  
  • Ginger...this sweet-hot root warms winter chills and supports bronchial & respiratory health.
  • Sage...makes a refreshingly spicy tea that quickly dries up post-nasal drip and soothes sore throat.
  • Thyme...this delicate seasoning spice is a potent partner for coughs and irritated respiratory passageways.
